These pages explain practical ways to authorize care, treatment, school enrollment, or property decisions for a minor without automatically opening a separate probate guardianship.
Each page below begins with the narrow question a family or professional is trying to solve, explains the Texas framework, identifies common limitations, and links to related planning tools.
These resources are educational. Capacity, authority, eligibility, court procedure, and public-benefit consequences depend on current law and the individual facts.
